Fort Lochlie Hill (unnoted)
The summit of the Lochlie Hill which rises to
a height of 824' above sea level in the angle
between the Glendivan Burn and the Ewes
Water has been surrounded by a broad
strong rampart with a scarp cut on the
natural surface below it - of which for the
most part the scarp alone remains. A
portion of the rampart, however, remains on the
N. [North] measuring some 22' broad at base with
a scarp on the exterior some 6' high. The
enceinte has been circular following the out:
:line of the summit of the hill with an
approximate interior diameter of 244'. Except
along the summit to the N.W [North West] whence the
ascent is gradual, and towards the greater
height on the S E. [South East] the flanks of the hill have
a steep declivity. The entrance has been from
the N. [North]. In a hollow to the N W. [North West] lies a large
pool or pond.

Enclosure Upper Glendivan.
Some 300 yds. [yards] above the shepherd's cottage
at Upper Glendivan is an oval excavated
enclosure, and the remains of another
are to be seen on the top of the bank of the
burn immediately to the S. [South] of the cottage.
